Digital credential field mapping

Abstract

Techniques described herein relate to mapping of digital credential objects to various field data objects. For example, requests may be received by a digital credential platform server from digital credential template owner devices, issuer devices, and / or receiver devices. In response, the digital credential platform server may determine and transmit back mappings between the digital credentials and the selected field data objects. To generate mappings, digital credential objects may be tokenize and transformed into vectors within a multi-dimensional vector space. Individual field data objects stored within a high-performance text search engine also may be transformed into vectors within the same multi-dimensional vector space, and the distances between the vectors may be calculated to select a number of field data objects corresponding to the digital credential objects.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Changes in computing technologies have provided individuals with additional options for obtaining and validating technical skills and proficiencies. Rather than attending traditional educational institutions and professional training courses, many individuals may now obtain their technical skills and proficiencies from alternative sources, such as structured or unstructured and asynchronous eLearning programs using distance learning technology, self-study research without any direct supervision, or various alternative technical learning, training, and testing entities. Although such advances in technologies and increasing globalization trends provide many more options for individuals to obtain technical skills and proficiencies, they also present challenges in publishing, verifying, and tracking the sets of technical skills and proficiencies that these individuals have obtained. Many individuals and institutions no longer rely on physical certificates such as diploma...
